Was using Epson presentation matte before but wanted to try koala as I’ve seen a lot of people use this type. I can say that the quality of the images are way better than the Epson paper.

Saw it over the weekend that Costco had the same printer I use on sale for 259.99 CAD. It’s not the 8550 but i have been impressed with the results. Good deal for anyone looking for a budget option.

I’ve been watching a bunch of YouTube videos on the process and I finally splurged and bought all the supplies needed. This is the 3rd page I’ve printed and the colours are kind of muted compared to other proxies I’ve seen. Is it due to the printer? My settings? Or just switching to glossy laminate?
